USB Microscope

General

Includes a sturdy focusable microscope stand. That might seem trivial but it's not. With a proper 'stage', like this, you can lay out your specimens, focus precisely, even take measurements, it's turns this from a fun toy to a 'proper' microscope.

Plugs into a computer with the USB cable supplied, no extra power or batteries required, LED lights, zooms up to an incredible 1000X magnification*. Working distance from 5mm to 45mm. Adjustable stand included (leaf not included). Press the red button to take a 'snap' on the computer. Software includes selection of filters (Windows only, not Mac).

* please note that it is technically easy to push the magnification of any low-cost microscope (or telescope) up to 1000X, but the image will be too fuzzy to be of any use, assume the maximum useable magnification for any microscope of this size to be somewhere between 100X and 200X.
